Description

The Sherlock Holmes Dark Smooth line presents all Peterson’s fabled, Sherlock-inspired shapes in a rugged, earthy rustication, accented by broad sterling silver bands and traditional, jet-black stems. First appearing as the Sherlock Holmes Commemorative pipe in 1987, and later as part of the Original Sherlock Holmes collection (1899-1991), this extra-large Calabash shape was designed by the senior craftsman Paddy Larrigan, and features a bold, trumpeting bowl, deep, full bend, and the stout, muscular proportions that define Peterson’s House Style.

In London in 1865, two German brothers, George and Frederick Kapp, established a pipe-making business. George Kapp & Co. In 1874, Frederick decoded to strike out on his own and moved to Dublin to continue his pipe making endeavours. A year later,a young Latvian, Charles Peterson, joined the business. Charles brought with him two great assets: a creative instict for designing pipes plus outstanding craftmanship. It was a powerful combination. In time, Kapp & Peterson became simply Peterson. And the rest is a continuing story of heritage and history, innovation and individuality.
